Looking into the places my grandmother visited 100 years ago, we’ve been accompanied and helped by two of my second cousins. To get a glimpse of the kind of houses she occupied we visited Grove Farm, a renovated plantation home. The extensive library includes some of Captain Cook’s journals! Books are found in every other room, too. It’s apparent that the Wilcox family valued learning. The porches (as pictured) are wide and inviting for sitting, the kitchen is separated from the house by a breezeway, and the rooms all open out on two sides to allow the winds to pass through.
